Abstract
This chapter explores the impacts of Indian migration to the Gulf on the southern state of Kerala. Using household-level survey data, it highlights an interesting pattern: the interaction between migrant self-selection and migration's developmental impacts. Muslims comprise a significant proportion of workers who migrate from India to the Gulf countries, and the chapter considers its important implications. On the one hand, it shows that culture plays an important role in shaping who migrates and thus migration's future developmental impacts. On the other hand, cultural and migrant self-selection may have important social and political consequences back home, especially in India, where social stratification is still present in Indians' daily lives. The chapter also explains how the creation of new inequalities and social elites on the basis of income derived from remittances, which help reduce poverty and unemployment among Muslims, creates a new paradigm that illustrates the impact of culture on development.
